    i don;t know, the parts that are usually black, were peach colored. there were images superimposed onto the backgrounds. one of them was the elven hero in the upper left corner of the page. tabs and sections were re-arranged.

    maybe my browser had a stroke, but it actually looked nice.

    Oh.... yeah, that was something that was "current" about 3 years ago. It shows up for some people once in a while when the servers have hiccups.

    The forum pretty badly needs an update. It’s been years since they changed this vanilla platform. At least give us a dark mode!

    Yes, that is the one thing I'd prefer - a dark version. I keep checking for a Stylish dark version for this forum, but so far nothing, and I'm not really into messing with all that myself any more....

    Actually that's an old design that sometimes get loaded without the new skin (current one). I too was once glad they changed the design, only to find this out.

    What is an up & down top bar?
    A bar where you drink up and fall down?
    "So, drinking is a sacrament to Y'ffre... because it's his way of reminding us not to take things too seriously... You know how the other Elves are. Altmer have their crystal towers, and that's how they want to be — cold and perfect. And Dunmer are just like their Red Mountain — smouldering and dark. We just want to have a drink and not worry about it."

    It's a black bar at the top of the page, which only shows either when you scroll up/down or when you're at the top of the page, and contains links named "Categories", "Dev Tracker", etc.

    I have a green bar like that but it's always there at the top of the page.

    Maybe it's a difference in browsers? I'm using Chrome.

    It is always there regardless of where I am on the page.

    I usually use my phone for the forums, using desktop mode. On my phone this is a green bar that is only at the top of the page. If I scroll down the page it disappears from sight because it's only at the top of the page.

    So I tested this on my PC and this is a black bar that is always at the top of every page. Even if I scroll down the page this bar stays there at the top because it seems to have its own separate section that never moves, but the page below it scrolls up and down separately.

    I don't know what the difference is. I had never noticed it before.

    On my browser (Vivaldi) on my home desktop PC, there's a black bar that's always visible, and contains a few menu items and the title "The Elder Scrolls (TM) Online". Then there's the other black bar below it that I already mentioned, which is only visible under certain conditions.

    Must have something to do with the browsers, and the platform, since mine is different on my android phone than on my PC desktop.

    Might I suppost Dark Reader while you wait? It has most of the modern and most used browsers covered so far as addons go.

    Well.... it's only available for Firefox, not the fork of Firefox I use, Pale Moon (which doesn't allow addition of Firefox addons). I've sent a query to the Dark Reader contact. And I'll check with Moonchild to see if there's some way to use it with Pale Moon.

    Actually I just found Advanced Night Mode for Pale Moon. Works great. Thanks for the info!

    For me, the second bar (Categories, Dev Tracker, Recent, etc) is also always visible, with the page scrolling up underneath it.

    And for a few days last week, a third bar (with sub-categories from one of those) was constantly popping down below the other two, covering up the "Forums > English > ESO General Discussion" links at the top of threads, which was annoying.
